Is this possibly caused by having $SHELL set in the environment in one case
but not the other?

We have a winner! The SHELL environment variable was set in both cases to /bin/bash. Well, doing a "echo $SHELL" returned "/bin/bash" in both cases. However, doing a "env | grep SHELL=" only returned "SHELL=/bin/bash" in the ssh window. If I unset the SHELL environment variable in the ssh window, I can get dmake to work! I don't quite understand the subtle difference of how these environment variables are set, but I am happy that I can now run our builds over ssh.

So thanks for the SHELL environment variable hint which helped me find a solution, Dave. I owe you a <insert your favorite beverage here>.
